Ever since returning to Oklahoma City around a decade ago, nearly every ex-girlfriend I’ve fallen in love with (and, of course, lost) has carried a flaming torch for Ted’s Café Escondido deep in their hearts, including my most recent ex-ladyfriend.
While I personally find Ted’s to be merely alright, if that, I wanted to give the new Ted’s Tacos and Cantina, 600 NW 23rd, an honest chance to impress me, especially since I received a coupon for a free order of Loaded White Queso in the mail and it’s been burning a hole in my pocket for a week. Already, this new Ted’s is on my good side.
Located in the newly hip part of Oklahoma City—far hipper than I’ll ever be, mind you—this eatery has little to no relation to Ted’s Café Escondido, with the exception of those three little letters. With a cool atmosphere that slowly irked me over time, we waited in line to order our food for a few minutes, looking over the menus to be absolutamente preciso, if that mattered; it didn’t.
